Big Shake Up in Local Politics

This morning we woke up to find that the Royal Cayman Islands Police Service (RCIPS) which is run by Scotland Yard and not the local government, had arrested the Premier McKeeva Bush on several financial related allegations and that he was in police custody.  There have been stories about multiple on going investigations since April of this year and it would seem one or more of them have finally broken through.  The Governor has issued a statement about the continued functioning of the government and while this isn't quite a British takeover of the government, it will be interesting to see where this goes over our last two months on the island.
